This is so much better!!! You've been so consistent on your weight loss! How do you handle plateaus? I absolutely hate those! I kind of fell off the wagon because I stopped seeing results. consistently losing 2 lbs a wk for 2 straight months then plateau'd every since! I did bootcamp 5 days a week for 10 wks and still…

Aww thanks! That helps! need to stay driven and positive even through plateaus! I hate them so much!

Hands down to you. such great will power and motivation! super envy. Keep up the great work girl! I noticed that there was no mention of how long it took you to get to where you are now - 141 lbs. When were the first pics and when were the last pics taken? My goal is also 135 lbs as well but I could never lose a pound…

Oh and I would toss that stupid scale out the window bc it will drive u nuts. IT drove me nuts. I stop weighing. rely on inches as your measurement. of course its nice to say I weight XXX right now but some of us can't be represented by the scale. some progressed through loss in inches. I did atkins before when I lost the…

U are doing great so far! I think you got way too spoiled with your weight loss! I am sooo jealous! I've been plateau'd since November last yr. it's been a freaking year! try that for some mean o plateau! I HATE HATE HATE it. You are consistently losing something so I would not be worried. I think you are getting obsessed…

Not easy if there is no progress or results. We thrive and work harder when we know the rewards are on its way but when you plateau and all progress halts, it easy to go downhill. And of course definitively NOT EASY when you LOVE FOOD!!! The bad kind. The kind that is so delicious but so bad for the body. Just have to stay…

You're not alone silver9051! I struggled a lot too and pretty much can't do too much about it. It's frustrating. Maybe try new workouts like insanity or p90X or crossfit? I can't even help myself. bleh.

lol funnny post. Lots to read!

Thanks!!! I am going to do what you suggest. I take those 24 hour fitness bodypump and lift just enough to feel the pain but I will bump it up and maintain my form to see if my legs can become eyecandy! I did some major leg work with a trainer friend with just my body weight and my legs felt JELLY for at least 3 days. I…

How sweet that someone thinks and sympathizes for those of us who do struggle with weight loss. I really appreciate it! I feel sorry for myself because whether I eat more or less than what is recommended, I still cannot lose any more weight since that last few months. I hit a wall and no matter how much more or less I eat,…

YAY fried chicken!!

Nice choice!!

I'm in the same boat and super far from my goal weight though! =/ Keep doing it until the day you die. die trying! That's what I'm doing.

I would want to have the most SOUTHERN meal. Fried chicken, mac n cheese, biscuits, mashed potatoes, stuffing (I know doesn't make sense but mmm...), fried okra, buttered corn, green beans, scalloped potatoes, southern rice, fried gizzards, watermelon slush, crinkle cut fries with nacho cheese!!! Ok I should stop before…

LOL that's not a meal. that's a buffet!!! love buffets!

Thanks! I won't give up. I increased my calories since I was at 1200 during the time I had lost weight and during my plateau. I upped it so that I could see if there was change. Still waiting and waiting..waiting forever but I know, I MUST NOT GIVE UP.

I've plateaued for more than 2 months. Stuck at the same spot since Nov 2012. Changed my diet, my workout, the times I go workout, still nothing. I have no idea how to break this monster. I just know I can't quit! It makes me sad because I'm not even halfway to my goal weight. sigh. IF you know how to break it, pls share.

That happened to me! You're lucky your plateau didn't start until later on. I started in Sept and plateaued in November. I was losing 1-2 lbs consistently for 2ish months and then it just stop responding. I've been the same weight since November. Not up and not down. Just same spot! it's so frustrating. I'd love to know…

LOL this cracked me up!

You've slipped and it happens. We've all been there. Food is a great thing in life but if your focus it to stay on track with weight loss and healthy living, a treat or binge every now and then won't kill. You don't gain weight overnight and you can't lose it overnight so this is just one of those days. Brush it off as an…

WOW I am sooo mad for you!!!! Tell them to mind their own business! Some people really are so rude.

OMG me too!!! well i get criticized regardless and I hate it so much. I got into a huge fight with a close friend because of it. We are grown adults. What we do is our decision. Ppl need to not tell others what to do either way. Who are they to point fingers and preach this and that?? its sooo freaking ANNOYING! Granted my…

I actually had vodka/soda water/lime drink on Friday. I'd say it is a good choice when going out if you still wanna go out and not do too much damage. I believe this thread is more of suggestions about what would be the less damaging to dieting or keeping fit. We all know that there is no such thing as a "Healthy"…

I'm the total opposite with cats so here's mine (they scare me) She: Smile, 1-2-3 Cat: Get out of my face NOW!

Thanks for this post! I really needed it for my short outing tonight. Want to stay within the acceptable damage window! I'll try the vodka, soda water, and fresh squeeze lemon! Was going to just do straight shots to avoid carbs or excess calorie intake but I'll give myself some options. Anyone know how many ounces is in 1…

It's FRIDAY, relax! Play nice.

Definitely pre-planning is the best practice but what I meant by my post is if you get those days where you've been behind on the eating, should you still work out. It's not a habit just those one-off days.

Sorry didn't catch the last part of your reply. The anabolic window is longer. How long is it? did you mean 24hours? because that is a long time!!!

I'm practicing this diet right now. It's a great way to portion control but probably need to add in 2 more small meals as this is too low for a full day's calorie intake. We all know it is not healthy in the long run but why the heck not! I say it doesn't hurt to check it out, try it, see what happens! I definitely think…
